Saul Raskin (1878 – 1966) was a Russian born American artist, writer, lecturer and teacher best known for his depiction of Jewish subjects. He studied lithography in Odessa before emigrating to New York in 1905, where he got involved in the Yiddish speaking literary community of Lower East Side. However, within the American Jewish community Raskin was probably known more as a painter and caricaturist than as an author. He worked in various media and was known for his realist approach and attention to detail. His work focused on scenes of Jewish life, particularly in the Lower East Side of New York, and in Palestine and later Israel, which he visited on several occasions. He died in New York.
